Post’s New ‘Gut Check’ Column Almost Lost Its Name Before It Even Hit the Streets
Washington Post Food Editor Joe Yonan sent an e-mail to Northern Virginia magazine’s Warren Rojas yesterday with an emergency request: Would Rojas mind if Ezra Klein’s new column on food politics runs under the same name as the magazine’s Gut Check blog?
It was an honorable move on Yonan’s part. It just came late in the game. By the time the two scribes connected yesterday, the Post’s Food section had already gone to print with Klein’s Gut Check column in it. Yonan proceeded to do the right thing and offered to change the title after the fact.

But one name that doesn’t get mentioned as often as it should is Northern Virginia Magazine’s Warren Rojas, a veteran reporter who has made a smooth transition into food writing by covering the gustatory scene in NoVa.
